In order for a poem to be classified as a sonnet‚ it must meet certain structural requirements‚ and Sonnet 138‚ “When my love swears that she is made of truth‚” is a perfect example. Shakespeare employs the traditional rhyme scheme of the English sonnet‚ the poem is made up of three quatrains and a rhyming couplet‚ and iambic pentameter is the predominant meter. However‚ it would be an error to approach this poem as a traditional Shakespearean love sonnet. It is a ‘love’ poem

William Wordsworth (1770-1850) completed two main versions of his autobiographical epic poem The Prelude‚ the original version in 1805‚ and a revised version which was published in 1850. The 1805 version is the one usually studied‚ and usually considered the better of the two‚ being more melodic and spontaneous than the more laboured version of 1850. In this essay I shall be discussing the 1805 version‚ with one or two references to differences in the 1850 version. Book Vl‚ entitled‚ ’Cambridge

Due to our nature‚ the human race will do astonishing things in the name of love and fear. Abigail Williams in “The Crucible” is a fantastic example of this. Not only are her actions absurd to try and gain John Proctor’s whole hearted affection‚ who was her lover‚ but also to gain submission of an ample portion of Salem due to fear. A large part of the submissiveness was gained by her ability to manipulate others‚ especially those she knows well. She starts the fire of hatred‚ for witches and the

The significance and aptness of the title "The Tempest" is immense. Though not apparent at first‚ the title is skilfully used by the dramatist to enmesh the various themes‚ motifs and subplots in his play into a closely knit unit. The title is not the mere reflection of a storm that characterizes the opening scene; rather‚ its essence lays the foundation that links disparate elements throughout the play. I believe that the tempest is a symbol of the torment and suffering endured by Prospero for

Shakespeare’s play Hamlet has become the most popular of his plays over the years. It is as popular now‚ if not more popular‚ than at the first performances in the early 1600’s and this shows that Hamlet is still popular with contemporary audiences even 400 years after it was written. There are many reasons why Hamlet is still relevant to contemporary audiences and these are expressed through the narrative conventions of Hamlet. As there are so many conventions present in Hamlet it is best summarized

Willem DeKooning Willem DeKooning is considered by many as one of the greatest contemporary artist of his time. He used painting‚ most effectively figure-ground‚ and sculptures showing his expression of nature through abstraction. Much of his art comes from the human form and how he decides to construct it. His work is still studied and displayed across the globe‚ as some of his work is some of the highest priced work ever paid for. He can relate to Coomaraswamy‚ Maritain‚ Gilson‚ and Eliot in

It is moments of decisions that shape your own destiny‚ not decisions of others. In the story‚ “The Bear‚” Faulkner conveys a theme of how negative aspects of one’s ancestry will not decide future generations’ fate by the use of characterization and symbolism. To reveal how the wrong doings of ancestors does not determine what one will become‚ Faulkner uses the characterization of Isaac McCaslin.
